Just a brief response to whether or not Stone had anything to do with the
targeting/marketing of this film...  If he was not interseted in attracting
the teenage audience (or at least the mass public at large) then why would he
fight to give the film an R rating over the NC-17 the film was originally
given.  And please don't give me the usual studio line of how some theatres
won't run NC-17 or papers advertise them.  You get a whole heck of a lot more
people seeing an R movie.  He's in it for the bucks - not for getting an
"important social message" out.
